Work to install the new water pipeline is well under way.
On 12 October 2015 Thames Water issued the following statement:
Progress for delivery of the scheme remains on track. Pipeline design has been completed and contract for this component of the works has recently been awarded with initial site work already started within the Honda factory site. Geophysical surveying is currently ongoing which is required to mitigate archeological impact along the route. This was agreed to be undertaken as part of the EIA screening assessment and is expected to be complete by mid-October. There are various phases of pipeline construction that will start in October and November with the pipeline programme to be completed in August 2016. Pumping stations and tunnel under rail construction will overlap with main pipeline and be completed September 2016. Commissioning will then be undertaken and completed by December 2016
This is just one phase of a bigger project to improve river habitat through the beautiful village of Mildenhall (Minal).
